The Efficacy of Cabazitaxel in Treating Prostate Cancer: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis.
Synthesis in American journal of men's health. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled it.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Cabazitaxel, a second-generation taxane chemotherapy agent, has demonstrated efficacy in treating metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC) in patients who have previously received docetaxel-based therapy. By targeting microtubule dynamics, cabazitaxel inhibits cancer cell division and induces apoptosis, thereby extending survival and delaying disease progression in this challenging patient population. A systematic review and meta-analysis were done by searching the Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials (CENTRAL), PubMed, MEDLINE (including MEDLINE InProcess; OvidSP), Web of Science, Embase (OvidSP), and Scopus databases. ROB2 Cochrane tools assessment for RCTs. In the analysis, we used RevMan Cochrane software. Our research reveals significantly improved outcomes in terms of patient survival rates, both progression-free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS), for cabazitaxel over comparative treatment (PFS HR 0.77 [0.61, 0.97]) (OS HR 0.79 [0.70, 0.88]). The treatment response rates were also favorable for cabazitaxel, reported as PSA Reduction Response of more than 50% (PRR) (odds ratio (OR) = 1.59 [0.56, 4.52]) and tumor response rate (TRR) (OR = 2.34 [1.28, 4.28]). Cabazitaxel was associated with significantly more incidence of adverse events. The risk ratio (RR) for serious adverse events was 1.64 [1.14, 2.35] for cabazitaxel compared to the current regimen. A systematic review and meta-analysis were done by searching in the Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials (CENTRAL), PubMed, MEDLINE (including MEDLINE InProcess; OvidSP), Web of Science, Embase (OvidSP), and Scopus databases.
